We built much of this home ourselves, and the space reflects our family's personality. It's relaxed, informal, idea-driven, and welcoming. We have several multi-use rooms, a very spacious kitchen, a large deck and terrace, and ample parking. We live in a quiet neighborhood about 75 minutes north of NYC in an area of CT great for antiquing, wine, hiking, and leaf-peeping.

Quiet, small New England town with local lakes, nearby flea-market and vineyard. Lovely neighborhood for flat or challenging walk/bike/run (school with track and tennis courts is around the corner). Several nearby towns offer good food, pubs, parks, skating, etc.

This was a real gem. A last minute booking and we couldn't have been happier. The room, bathroom and everything else were perfect, but it was Wendy, Chris and the kids that made it. Such lovely people and it was wonderful to spend an evening in their company.

Wendy and her family are wonderful hosts! The sitting room upstairs is a fantastic little getaway with expansive views. And the hot tub was such a treat - we went in even though it was the coldest night in 40 years. Wendy had hats and robes for us and then when we came inside she had warmed spiced wine for us! She truly goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was delicious, too. The bathtub is tremendous. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use it because the pipes froze (again, because it was the coldest day in 40 years!), BUT I'd go back again just for the tub! We even happened to find a frozen pond nearby that we were able to skate on. We always have our skates in the car, but Wendy said she had skates and hockey sticks we could borrow if we needed them. Like I said, they go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. She even gave us a bottle of Prosecco upon our arrival which was a wonderful treat! Just an fyi, other reviewers were spot on when they said this is like staying with your family. The conversation is great and the family is super friendly and welcoming. Your room is next to Wendy and Chris' room, the living room is below you. If you are looking for a B&B getaway where you are removed a little and have a lot of privacy, this is not it (this is renting a room in a house, not a B&B per-se even though breakfast is provided). That said, Wendy and her family give you as little or as much privacy as you want, but you are not going to a separate area of the house removed away from everything.

Angie2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

Thanks, Wendy and Chris, for a wonderful stay! My boyfriend and I decided at the last minute to take a spontaneous trip, and we fell in love with the description of Wendy and Chris's home, but we didn't think it would be available last minute. Chris responded to my request within 15 minutes, with a follow up from Wendy minutes later, and they we're both incredibly accommodating and welcoming. During our stay, we enjoyed the hot tub, played board games, and spent lots of time petting their kitties. We visited the nearby winery, DiGrazia, and were really pleasantly surprised. On the last evening of our stay, we had a really nice chat with them over drinks, and the next morning (because we managed to get up before noon finally!) they surprised us with a beautiful breakfast. We really enjoyed getting to know them, their daughters, and Wendy's sister. Their home is truly a labor of love, covered from top to bottom in art and books, and radiating warmth and goodwill. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in the country!

Stephanie2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

Wendy, Chris and their lovely daughters were the perfect hosts, recommending best restaurants and attractions in the area, and allowing us to operate freely in the home while utilizing all amenities. The Private bath is unreal, the hot tub on the deck is the perfect relaxation tool, top floor vista room is a great extension to the bedroom, breakfast was yummy and the company was interesting and fun. Would definitely recommend staying at this home and enjoying it for at least one night of headspace in nature.

Itay2015-12-14T00:00:00Z

It was a lovely get away weekend for me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single second being at your wonderful house. Thank you for your hospitality.

Julie2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

Made a last minute decision to stay in the Birdsnest room on a Saturday night and got a response in no time at all. With all my questions answered, I did not hesitate to book. The hosts, Wendy and Chris are warm and welcoming, making it very easy to feel right at home. After going out for dinner we returned for a wonderful soak in the hot tub overlooking their beautiful green expanse of a yard. It was the perfect way to end our evening. My sister and I were celebrating our August birthdays and soaked in the warmth and the starlight, while enjoying a bottle of champagne provided by our hosts. Once up in our birdsnest, we settled in for a wonderful sleep and awoke to birds chirping and sun shining, with neither of us looking forward to leaving our perch. Breakfast was yummy with fresh fruit and Ruby's homemade banana bread. We truly had a wonderful evening and look forward to returning to this special place. Thanks

Sharon2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Wendy and Chris are wonderful hosts. They made us feel so welcome and we enjoyed their hot tub immensely. Their two daughters are so sweet as well. Chris gave us great recommendations of where to explore in the area and they also helped us out with restaurant recommendations for new years eve dinner. Definitely loved the space and would be back if ever in the area again.

Twila2015-01-02T00:00:00Z

Wendy and Chris have a lovely home and their family is wonderful. It's hard to imagine that just one hour away from NYC you can find a sliver of heaven, to rest and relax, and just get away from it all. The house is ample in space and very comfortable. The views are stunning and you'll get some of the best sleep of your life as you can't hear a peep all night. The master bathroom is a huge plus and, of course, the hot tub at night, from which you can just get lost in a starry sky. Wendy and Chris were great hosts, very helpful in recommending activities, and overall great entertainers. Thanks for a great weekend!

Whether you are house hunting, leaf peeping, antiquing, discovering vineyards, visting family or friends, helping your child get settled at one of the local private schools, or simply want to get away for a few days .. we would be happy to host you in our neck of the woods. We are less than 90 minutes from NYC.

The Guest Room is located on the main level of the house, but is separated from the rest of the living space by two doors - making it very quiet and private. It has a Queen Bed with a Tempurpedic Mattress on a remotely controlled adjustable base, an individually controlled A/C unit and overhead fan. The ensuite bathroom has a shower and a bidet.

There are plenty of beautiful places to visit in our general area. We've shared photos of a few and are happy to recommend more, upon request.

Absolutely stunning house, driving in truly felt like a retreat! The room and bathroom were immaculate and filled with all the amenities you could want. Lili, Lu and family were nothing but smiles and warmth!!! Their kids are adorable, and very well behaved. Lili even gave us a ride nearby - they truly treated us like family. Highly highly recommend!!

Gloria R.2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Enrique2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

We only stayed for one night, but everything was comfortable, quiet clean. They have an amazing bed that can adjust if you want. In the morning we had delicious eggs, croissants and coffee. Perfect stay.

Casey2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Lili and Lu was very memorable. Their beautiful house surrounded by forests was restful and rural. We fell in love with their daughter, Beatrice! They were all hospitable, thoughtful and generous...and remembered it was my birthday with roses and a candle on a stack of breakfast pancakes! Lili is a joy to be with and makes you feel at home immediately.

Wendy2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

I can't say enough nice things about our short stay. The location is beautiful. The room is lovely, quiet, private and incredibly comfortable. Lili, Lu and their family are simply a joy to be around. 10/10 will stay again!

Greg2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Lili was an amazing host. First of all she provided us so many great recommendations on stuff to do in the area. We specifically wanted to visit a pumpkin patch, go apple picking, and hiking. She provided us so many wonderful recommendations. Due to time constraints we weren't able to do everything, but we have options for next time. Also the area is absolutely beautiful. The bed was very comfy and the room was set up and perfectly waiting for our arrival. She was very prompt in responding to my messages. Thank you Lili for your wonderful hospitality. We hope to visit again in the future.

Shashi2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay at Lily and Lu's place. Extremely warm family. We have great breakfast and dinner together. Beyond expectation. Place is clean, roomy, quiet. A dramatically different experience from the busy city style.

Wei2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

This home is beautiful, the setting is quiet and serene yet conveniently located. The family welcomed us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Highly recommended!

We love JoJo and Phil! They're so welcoming and accommodating! We really enjoyed our second stay and would gladly go back anytime!

Sharp2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

A lovely place! Great light and inspiring place to work or just hang out. Jojo and Phil were super nice and very accommodating. I will definitely book it in the future.

Matthew2016-12-12T00:00:00Z

JoJo and Phil are lovely! We were greeted by the cutest little pup (Piggy) and immediately welcomed into the bright studio. It is the perfect location for a quiet retreat. Short drive to a variety of great restaurants. Would love to stay again.

Arietta2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Carrie-Hahnen2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

This lovely light filled loft was so comfy- I wish we were there longer to enjoy leafing through the art books and getting creative, as their sweet place certainly inspires!

Deborah2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay. Jojo was lovely, welcoming and very helpful. Only wish we could have stayed longer to take one of her yoga classes!

Monica2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

This space is totally gorgeous! The sunlight streaming in every morning was almost surreal it was so beautiful. The space is awesome, there is a heater right behind the bed so it can keep you warm even on cold nights without wasting a lot of energy. Everything that you could possibly need was provided, and they had extra blankets and pillows and stuff in case you got cold (which we didn't, the heat worked great). Overall, absolutely fantastic place. We will definitely be back!

robert2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

Jojo & Phil have an absolutely lovely home. This was a beautiful airbnb with a gorgeous, quiet, and happy atmosphere. Would definitely stay again.

Enjoy a stay in a 1950s cottage designed like an old farm house. Enjoy the view of the private, large, park-like backyard, surrounded by woods from your bedroom window. You may see deer playing or wild turkeys grazing in the early morning or at sundown. Although the house feels as if you are tucked away in the country, it is close to shopping, Exits 5 and 6 off I-84, the hospital, Candlewood Lake, hiking trails and the downtown Western Connecticut State University campus.

Welcome budget-minded travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, quiet, considerate, friendly folks!
PLEASE, KINDLY TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THIS DESCRIPTION. IT SHOULD ANSWER MANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS...
Offering a lovely, cozy, single-dwelling HOUSE that is designed like an old farm house with the kitchen as the center of the house. It is in a quiet neighborhood.
The bedroom is the sun porch of the house. It has windows on 2 sides that look out on a private backyard surrounded by trees. There is partition that closes off the sleeping area so you have privacy. The closet is outside the sleeping area. You enter the bedroom area through the kitchen and down one step. The bathroom is off the kitchen in a sitting room.
NOTE: There are 5 indoor cats, all friendly and quiet except at feeding time, and a small 20 pound dog who is very friendly. If you have allergies to pets, this is not a good place to stay. But if you love pets, you will love these 4-legged characters.
BEDROOM: Comfy, full size, double bed, typically for single individuals due to space and size of bed. However, two can sleep well, depending on your size and needs, I accept $30 add'l cost per person per night.
Small flat screen TV in room where you can play DVDs. WiFi is available for your laptop.
This room was originally a sun porch, as mentioned above, converted to a bedroom for guests so it is bright and cheerful with windows on 2 walls facing the side and back of the house. When you look out of the windows, it feels like you're looking out of a tree house because you are one story above the yard. In order to maintain a way to get to the deck and maintain your privacy, there is a partition of bi-fold doors (which can be seen in one of the photos). The sleeping area on one side of the partition is almost 8 ft deep x 10 ft wide, with a closet outside the sleep area.
ADDITIONAL GUESTS: Sorry, there isn't room at this time for a third guest.
BATHROOM: SHARED WITH HOST (and the occasional add'l guest(s). No private bathroom facilities are available. Shelf available for personal toiletries.
FRESH TOWELS/LINENS PROVIDED.
Guests who stay for more than 1 night will use same bed linens. Stays that exceed a week will have their linens laundered.
**Guest(s) may use the shampoo, shower wash and soap.
**SORRY, no LAUNDRY facilities are available for stays that are less than 7 days.
KINDLY READ/HONOR THE "HOUSE RULES" & "HOUSE MANUAL". Just some basic, simple requests are stated. Airbnb provides these details also on the confirmed ITINERARY sent to each guest. Please take the time to read it thoroughly, I cannot take responsibility for you in that realm.
EAT-IN KITCHEN has all the amenities – refrigerator, stove/oven, extra cabinet space, shelf in fridge, toaster oven, coffeemaker, great selection of utensils, microwave, dishwasher. Host offers some teas, and coffee. If you have a preference, bring your own preferred morning beverage and use the coffeemaker!
THE DRIVEWAY is a slope downward below street level. It, at first may feel a bit daunting, but once you've driven it, you'll see that it isn't bad at all. I've lived here for 5 years and don't even think about it. Because the house is on a curvy road, there is a blind spot on one side of the driveway. Once I tell you the "secret" of how to make sure there is no oncoming traffic from that side when you exit the driveway, you will find getting out of the driveway easy.
OTHER CONVENIENCES:
High speed internet available. Sorry, no computer available.
Living room has a 32" flat-panel TV. If you want to bring/rent DVDs to watch, that’s fine with me. If you want to use the living room TV instead of in the bedroom, please check with me to be sure I have nothing scheduled for that time frame.
ADD'L PETS?
Sorry, cannot accept add'l guest pets -- although I might consider, if pet is small and can be kept in the room. There would be an add'l fee and pet deposit.
NEARBY: The house is on a well traveled “country” road north of downtown Danbury. Restaurants, shopping, hospital parks, and public beach and boat ramp (if you have a boat with you) (Candlewood Town Park) are less than a 1/2 mile away. Hiking trails are about 10 minutes away. The house is 5 minutes from the hospital and Western Connecticut State University. It's very easy to get around this town and there are a lot of outdoor activities in the Fall, Spring and Summer months!
CHECK OUT: Check out is 11 am.
Pleased to meet your acquaintance!!
– Shelley

Quiet residential neighborhood in north Danbury. Close to trails/parks. House is surrounded by woods on 3 sides. It is a private, park like setting, There is a large deck w/ table and chairs and a lounge chair. Sometimes in the morning or evening you can see deer grazing in the backyard from the bedroom window.
My home is about 3 miles from downtown Danbury and WCSU downtown campus

Shelley is a wonderful host welcoming you with warmthand comfort. And she has lovely pets. She is extremely easy to communicate and accomodating. The description of the space was accurate, a cosy room facing backyard with occasional deer visitings. The house is quite close to Rt 84 and 7, Shelley has great local knowledge from Restaurants to tricks to avoid morning traffic at certain routes.

ertan2014-08-02T00:00:00Z

Shelley made me feel very welcome. It was such a pleasure meeting her and her animals. The room was clean and comfortable. The view from the room is beautiful. I was excited to see deer in the morning as she mentions in the listing. The partition does not go all the way to the ceiling but Shelley was very respectful and quiet while I was sleeping. It was a wonderful stay!

Stefanie 2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

It was my first AirBnb experience. This was an excellent experience living here. It is quiet, clean, and comfortable. Shelley is a very nice landlady, so thoughtful and helpful. She helped me to receive my packages even after I left. It gave me a lot of convenience for relocation. I greatly appreciate it. I will highly recommend this place!

Shihai2015-09-30T00:00:00Z

Shelley's house was the perfect place for a long stay. The house is comfy and inviting, and her pets are amazing with defined personalities. She offered as much privacy or interaction as I prefered, and she made sure to make me feel at home. I would definitely recommend her house to travelers of any kind.

Jason2017-09-10T00:00:00Z

Shelly is an incredibly welcoming host! She was very friendly at the door and helpful during my stay. Her pets are about as friendly as she is, and she's located in a very quiet side of town with plenty of space. The room was very comfortable and cool. Enjoyed getting to share my stories and getting to know her while I was around as well. Thanks Shelly!

Ethan2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

Shelley was very compassionate. I missed my flight, and so my trip was delayed, meaning that I arrived at Shelley's late. She was very concerned, and stayed up to greet me, and even gave me some delicious soup to eat. Shelley was easy to work with. She is a very talented artist, and her paintings adorn the cozy house. The guest room is small and tasteful, but unconventional -- there is no real wall between it and the rest of the home, rather a cleverly made series of folding doors that create a partition. So, if privacy is your thing, you might consider a different rental. Yes, there are lots of cats, and a little dog! That said, the creatures are self-contained, and do not smell up the house at all, which is amazing. The vibe is very peaceful.

Emily2015-11-06T00:00:00Z

Shelley is an amazing host, who made me feel as if i was at home. Shelley is very warm and kind. The neighbourhood is predominantly peaceful although some days there can be a bit of traffic which can cause affect ones sleep. Luckily it happens once in a while. Shelley has a lovely back padio you can sit and read and relax. The only thing i found problematic is that the driveway leading out onto the road is very unsafe, it is very difficult to see oncoming cars, from both directions, i would say that was the most unpleasant part of the stay, but once the mirror on the other side of the street is taken care of it should solve the problem. Shelley also has cats which i love, but if you are not a pet person you might want to keep it mind that cats can make noise at night.

Martin2014-08-23T00:00:00Z

Shelley's place was exactly as described, comfortable, and very charming. She and her lovely pets were also very welcoming upon my arrival. I enjoyed my stay very much!

Located in the private Candlewood Knolls community, with access to all it's amenities, a serene 3BR/1BA cabin on cul-de-sac, one-acre property with complete privacy and incredible Candlewood Lake views and a short walk to 1 of 2 beaches

Mike & Roma were responsive and accessible from the beginning and throughout our stay. The home was exactly as described. It was colder than expected while we stayed and they were quick to let us know the best ways to keep the home warm. The grounds are beautiful, beds were comfy and the views of the lake and access to the community beaches and playground were perfect. Our only issues are related to traveling with our infant and aren't problems with the property or owners just an FYI if others happen to be traveling with kids. I should have noted from the description that there is no bathtub in the bathroom (just a small shower). Also -given the weather - we had a hard time keeping the bedroom where baby was sleeping warm enough for him but it was fine for us. I would recommend this place to get away from it all (except wildlife - we were lucky enough to see a fox and several turkeys on our visit). We had a relaxing visit and would definitely rent here again in the future.

Joanna2014-09-19T00:00:00Z

I'd like to thank Mike and Roma for an excellent and most importantly relaxing week at their Cabin. Seeing the view of Candlewood each morning was a great reminder of not only how great the house was but neighborhood as well. Their spreadsheets of the house and surrounding area were a great help, making the trip hassle free. Though I would recommend bringing a car with you on your visit. Overall I am hopeful one day return with family and friends and as Mike And Roma were great hosts.

Matthew2015-09-18T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Candlewood Lake Cabin. Mike and Roma were very accommodating and helpful. Wonderful spot.

James2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

Cozy little cabin at the very end of Candlewood Knolls. The cabin was exactly as described and was actually big enough to accommodate a fairly large family and the views of the lake were amazing. Since it's a the very end of Overlook Drive, we were able to enjoy a level of privacy that you don't normally get in The Knolls. There was a very nice fire pit with plenty of wood to burn. Mike and Roma have a nice wood pile near the upper parking area, but we were able to scavenge more than enough wood nearby to make a few small fires for s'mores. The furniture inside is all very comfy and we felt very much at home from the moment we arrived. The washer/dryer are very convenient when spending every day at the beach. We can't thank Mike and Roma enough for a wonderful stay.

Mike2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Pictures and listing were accurate. Nice place for a getaway.

Donna2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

I just realized I never left a review for this amazing house!!! Mike & Roma are some of the best hosts we've ever had! While we didn't get to meet them in person, they were always in communication and very helpful with anything we needed. The house itself is gorgeous with amazing views, private, quiet, and convenient! We really had one of our best getaways here! My husband and I always talk about Mike & Roma's home and hoping to come back to it in the future! For a clean, quiet, relaxing, gorgeous, amazing, unforgettable stay, choose this place! You won't regret it!

Neta2013-09-08T00:00:00Z

Completely agreed w many reviewers here. This is such a lovely, cozy cabin! We were new to the area, and had absolutely an amazing time. The cabin, amenities and surroundings are exactly as described. We are 4 adults with 3 young children from age 2-5. The lake and cabin left a great impression to the older kids who said they loved the house so much that they didn't want to leave :) Communication w Mike and Roma were great. They provided clear house rules and were responsive to all of our questions. Thanks for letting us to stay there!

You will be in a two room suite, with private entrance, on a magnificent property with 40 acres of open space and a trout stream. Hike or just relax around the seasonal pool. Close to I84, about 75 minutes from NYC.

Room with private entrance and full bath. The mill, surrounded by 30 acres of open space is only 1.25 hours from NYC. It's a great place for a relaxing getaway. Enjoy the seasonal swimming pool, patio, cable, WiFi internet and close proximity to Fairfield/Litchfield County attractions. As we are in the country, you will need a car. Some guests from NYC take Metro North to Danbury on the New Haven Line or Southeast on the Harlem Line and have Enterprise Car Rental meet them. The mill is well situated for day trips to state parks, museums in Hartford and New Haven and several wineries on the CT Wine Trail. Sorry, no smoking or pets.

Very comfortable and private. We had the pool to ourselves which was just what we needed during the heat wave. There were two spacious rooms and a patio by the pool. The grounds were very well maintained. We intend to return for an overnight stay sometime this summer. Don was very welcoming and helpful in directing us to fine dining and local shopping. We stayed three nights.

arthur2012-07-13T00:00:00Z

Everything about our first Airbnb booking was, well . . . perfect! Don gave immediate attention to the reservation; accommodations and setting are absolutely delightful; and as host, he combines exactly the right amount of attentiveness with ease and respect for privacy. I look forward to returning for a longer stay!!!

Beth2013-12-05T00:00:00Z

I'm not sure what we liked best! Our rooms, the beautiful grounds, pool and buildings, or our visit with Don? Amazing place and host - highly recommend! It was a relaxing base for venturing out - to the beach, the train in Essex, Mystic, Yale, quaint towns with restaurants and Ferris Creamery (which has the most incredible ice cream). Thanks, Don - for everything!

Laurie2014-07-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful spot!

Ms B2013-11-04T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our long weekend at The Mill. Don is a gracious host. Beautiful home and grounds that felt remote yet are close to the interstate. The trail behind The Mill is wonderful, a treat to explore. The area is full of great restaurants and shops too. We would love to return for another relaxing visit.

Laura2014-07-29T00:00:00Z

We loved Don's property and he was a wonderful host. Though we didn't meet him until the end of our visit, we felt right at home in his home. He even left milk, oj and pastries so we'd have breakfast in the morning! We can't wait to return!

Kristin2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

We just spent a week at Don's place and it was fabulous! It was so comfortable it felt like home. The house and grounds are beautiful, serene and quiet. The bed we slept in is the most comfortable I have ever slept in, so nights were very restful and filled with sweet dreams. I especially enjoyed breakfasts by the pool looking out on the beautifully landscaped yard and listening to the gentle sounds of the stream running through it. Don is a very warm and gracious host, happy to provide whatever we needed. I can't wait to visit again! ~Joanne from Sonoma County, CA

Joanne2013-10-02T00:00:00Z

I am half-hearted to share this wonderful place with the world, because a part of me wants to keep it a secret (but that would be selfish)!! We stayed with Don at his Mill for the weekend and it was utopia. The room and its amenities went above and beyond any 5 star hotel that you could ever stay at because it was so personal and felt like a home away from home. Everything was well decorated. The pool and property were perfectly maintained. I didn't even see one bug floating around. Don was the nicest person ever and the area was splendidly scenic. You will not find a more relaxing destination than this mill right here....

Semira2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

DJ is the best!!! His place was very clean and inviting. Very comfortable bed, and access to the whole house. There is an AC unit in the room which was very appreciated. There are stores and dining within walking distance. He was very easy to get ahold of, and made sure anything I needed was made available within minutes. I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Danbury.

The bed makes you want to crawl in and read, relax or of course sleep. (If you desire a completely separate space look at our listing "private guest apartment.")

First of all i look forward to coming back for next year's Rev 3 triathlon 2018 and stay in Brooke's beautiful crib which we really enjoyed a whole lot. Brook was very accommodating at all times. The place (crib) was beautiful, huge, clean, very relaxing, complete and a legit serene "very" safe neighborhood. The grocery stores and strip malls are mostly 15 to 20 minutes away. Talking about the value is no brainer folks. I would recommend Brooke's place 120% in my book. Wait till you meet the sweetest girl in the world "Bree". Thank you so much for everything Brooke, David and Bree...More power and bless all your hearts...

This is a wonderful family lakefront vacation home. The community has it's own private beach with a lifeguard and fenced in children's playground. You can rent a pontoon boat from a marina nearby.
Food shopping is wonderful with a Costco, Shoprite and Stew Leonard's close by.
I will help you plan daily excursion trips to nearby Southern Connecticut sites of interest from waterfalls to Norman Rockwell Museum.

This private lake front home and dock which sleeps 9 offers you unparalleled enjoyment. Long sloping lawn with waterfront custom stone wall leads to your private dock for direct lake access. Additionally access to the private community's white sand beach and large meadow is a wonderful addition to your stay. The community park as an extensive children's playground. A screened in porch provides a comforting bug free area for those quite evening's relaxing discussions with friends and families while enjoying your glass of wine and late night snack. The first floor of the house has 3 bedrooms and a full bath and the lake access level has a bedroom with a queen and another full bath. Visit waterfalls, winery, hiking, kayaking and biking in this rural setting in the Southern Berkshire Mountains. Ample shopping and movie theaters in the area. There are numerous public golf courses in the area along with one of the top national public golf courses, Ricker State Park. Local power boat rentals are available for skiing, tubing, and sunset lake cruise are available. CHECK OUT TIME IS 11:00.

Thank you Norman for renting us your summer rental on the lake in the middle of winter! We enjoyed the lovely wines and flowers you welcomed us with and the fireplace worked like a dream! It accommodated us well and gave us an opportunity to spend Xmas with our large Connecticut family!

5 stars for this place! My group of 7-8 ladies had a great time renting this house and exploring the area. The house is spotless and everything was very well stocked (towels, toilet paper, etc.). It was a great amount of space for all of us to lounge, cook, sleep, etc. over the 3 days that we were there. We were there on the hottest days of the year so far and the AC in the house was great as well as the front back screened-in porch which we loved to get some air at night over a glass of wine. There is a huge lawn in the back with a great dock which we used to sit in the sun/swim right in the backyard during most of the days. Norman even left the covers off his pontoon boat so we could all sit there for cocktail hour (and he had offered to take us on a boat ride)! The area is also really nice - Norman showed us the private beach a mile down the road where we had access to which seemed great for kids and wading into the water, etc. Norman is a wonderful host - very attentive, generous (providing a whole case of water for wknd) and responds very quickly to all questions. We will definitely be back!

Katherine2013-06-03T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Norman's Candlewood Lake home was everything we had hoped for and more! Norman was extremely responsive and accommodating during the booking process and really made us feel at home when we arrived. He met us with glasses of wine, a case of water, and assured us that we'd have all the linens and towels we'd need for our three-day visit. The house was very spacious and the large yard was perfect for the leisure sports we brought (ladder golf, frisbee, etc.). We spent three blissful days barbecuing, boating, and swimming, and definitely hope to return sometime soon.

Our furnished apartments are brand new and one of a kind in Danbury. We chose our interior decorations to be modern, yet simple, to provide our guests exactly what they need for their stay.

Danbury is one of the largest cities in Connecticut and carries many hidden gems. Throughout the city, you will be able to find many hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants with fantastic Italian food as well.

Tracy and her family were kind enough to allow my extended family to Stay at their beautifully renovated lake house for a long weekend this summer. My family commented many times about how much they appreciated the interior design style as well as the obvious thoughtfulness that went into the remodel. They've done such a great job with this home. It feels modern and comfortable while maintaining the heart of the community it is embedded in -which is NOT an easy balance to accomplish. We were so impressed and even more important, comfortable. Her communication and hospitality were top notch. She even offered a late checkout so that we could make the most of our last day in the lake. If we could give 6 stars we would. Congrats again in the beautiful remodel!

Michael2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

House is beautiful, clean and immaculately furnished. Great deck for enjoying the whole day and every meal. Neighborhood makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. Kid loved the beaches, playground, playing fields and even the bocce. We will certainly be back.

Amie2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Tracey's place is absolutely perfect. It is spacious, bright, comfy and clean. The community is super friendly, beautiful, and quiet. It makes for nice walks and the lake beach is 3 minutes from her doorstep. There are plenty of board games for rainy days in the house too. Tracey was helpful and responsive at all time. The only thing I would point out is the upstairs "bedrooms" are actually loft-bedrooms, open to the living room downstairs and therefore could be an issue for privacy.

Laure2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Stayed for a week with our son, daughter in law and grandsons. The beach home is lovely and very comfortable. Located in a family oriented beach community with day camp options for children. We booked on short notice. Tracey was great and the house had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

Ktichen has new appliances, back yard great for barbecuing, living room has a cozy nook area for afternoon reading, air conditioners in each bedroom.

A Lake Community on and island in Lake Candlewood

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Candlewood Isle! The property was in excellent condition and the host provided accommodations and instructions to make sure we had everything we needed for a terrific weekend. I would absolutely stay here again!

Ryan2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Barbara's house. It was just exactly as we hoped it would be, perfect for a beautiful weekend away from home.

kerry2017-09-25T00:00:00Z

The location is very nice. Just a short walk to the lake and clubhouse swimming area and playground. The house is rustic, so if you're looking for new and spotless this may not be for you. We loved it. You can also rent a boat at Echo Marine.

Wayne2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at Barbara's Lake house. Our host was exceedingly attentive and made our first airbnb experience comfortable. She greeted us at the home and gave us a walk through. The Candlewood Isles community is gated and lovely. We took a walk through the community one of our days there and loved the lake views. We also appreciated the location and accessibility to the lake, beach, and nearby New Fairfield. Our girls (5 & 8yrs) enjoyed playing on the playground at the clubhouse. The cabin has tremendous character and we loved using the cozy reading nook. My wife and I found the bed and the linens in the master bedroom to be very comfortable. A few areas of possible improvement include: - Addition of ceiling fans in the bedrooms and main room (our stay was hot (!!) and as requested, we only used the A/C at night) - The house was generally clean, but there are areas that could benefit from more thorough dusting / cleaning - Some new window screens and a new back door screen will help keep bugs out at night Thank you for sharing your home with my family and making our first airbnb experience a pleasant one.

Phil2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Second stay at Barbara's cottage. Just as wonderful as the first! The location is great. The house, beach and community are the ideal lake get-away! Barbara is wonderful, accommodating, and always a text away! Thanks for having us.

Heidi2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

My fiancé and I booked last weekend for a little R&R outside the city. We could not have been more charmed by this home and the entire Candlewood Isle. Immediately driving in over the small causeway with the lake surrounding me I could tell this place was special. Neighbors actually waved to us as we drove in (a BIG plus for me coming from a slightly more aggressive NYC). The cottage is just off the lake and the perfect distance to the club house, beach and tennis courts - close enough that you're a minute away from the action but still have privacy and peaceful quiet time. The home is so quant, built in an Adirondack style that my fiancé just loved...and that nook! It was PERFECT for reading and an afternoon nap which was put into use cause we had a rainy day. All our other time was spent outside - hanging by the lake, building a fire and grilling. With the 2 bedrooms and nook it could have easily fit 5 people...maybe next time! We loved every minute and WILL be back to the cozy cottage.

Monica2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Had family in from Seattle so we took them to Candlewood Lake and Barbara's cute house. So much charm, love the recent addition and work done, and location is perfect. 3 days 2 nights was not enough! Will be staying here again soon.....

P2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

The cottage was just perfect! Candlewood Lake is beautiful & the house was so cozy & inviting. Barbara is a wonderful host & gave us great suggestions for restaurants, markets & nearby attractions. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely return to this special place.

Great stay, very relaxing place where the pool and Jacuzzi is the center of the stay.

Jean-Sébastien2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Lisa and Arthur were great! They were accommodating especially given my short notice request for space when other housing plans fell through! The downstairs room is private and quiet and the house sits in a beautiful part of CT. Recommend!

Maria2015-07-11T00:00:00Z

Lisa was very thoughtful and communicative. She made us feel very welcome. The house is situated in a nice spot, the hot tub and pool designed really nicely. It's definitely a well-loved home and less of a vacation property but we felt very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Bryn2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Lisa and Arthur's home. :) It was more than what it is in pictures and description! They gave us a tour of their home after welcoming us with snacks and refreshments when we arrived. It is an ideal get away from the busy streets of New York. Peaceful, quiet and Beautiful! :) Their house is full of natural light and good vibes. The Salt water pool and the spa is awesome. We spent most of our time outside, at the deck, poolside and in the pool/spa. We really had a great time. Will recommend this to our friends and will definitely come back if time permits. :)

Marren2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Lisa and Arthur were extremely welcome. I was unable to meet them because I was getting to the home later after work but my boyfriend met them and said they were super nice. Lisa and Arthur explained how to use the hot tub and pool and gave us extra bedding and towels due to the extra people that we had staying over. They're home is lovely, clean, and decorated fantastically with cultural art from all around the world. We were able to have a cook out with their grill and they made room in the refrigerator for us so we can store our food during our stay. They're home is located 10 min away from the marina and Candlewood lake and their backyard is amazing. I highly recommend staying there!

Jessica2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

Lisa and Arthur were perfect hosts! Their house, pool and hot tub were the perfect weekend getaway. They were gracious and welcoming but gave us all the privacy we could have hoped for while always being available for a question or to help. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and Arthur to anyone looking for a beautiful weekend away and am eagerly looking forward to returning! 5 stars for sure.

Zack2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

Lisa's bright bubbly personality made us feel most welcome. She was most accommodating to our wishes and couldn't do enough for us. By the same token, she gave us the opportunity to do our own thing. We chose the downstairs room that had plenty of space to spread out, plus it had a lovely outlook over the garden and forest beyond. This was certainly a home away from home for us.

Jenny2015-09-30T00:00:00Z

Lisa and her husband were absolutely wonderful hosts! Their house is beautiful and is a perfect weekend getaway. The pool, spa, and deck were wonderful for a group of friends looking to get out of the city, and the entire property is just breathtaking. The house itself is spacious and comfortable. Lisa and her husband were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, even getting on a video call to walk us through the details of the house when we got there! They felt like family. I would absolutely stay with them again!

Rob generously provides lots of equipment-every age was entertained. The kitchen is very well equipped making it a pleasure to cook at home for a large group. Thank you Rob for sharing this home.

colleen2017-09-24T00:00:00Z

Rob's place is a beautifully restored original cottage on Candlewood Lake. With updated bathrooms and a very well stocked kitchen. I'm a gourmet cook and can honestly say it was a pleasure to utilize this kitchen. The space is really comfy and lends itself to relaxation and great conversation. The beds are extremely comfortable and the Sonos sound system was wonderful too. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Ginger2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Sweet Dotti's cabin was the perfect weekend getaway from the city for my group of 6. We booked over MLK weekend and enjoyed watching the snow fall and lake freeze over while sipping on our wine by the fire. The area was quiet and peaceful yet accessible. The house offered all amenities such as a fully stocked kitchen, laundry room and plenty of linens and sheets. I was surprised by how spacious the cabin was- could have easily accommodated a larger group with the multiple floors. The space was safe for my 9 month old and clean enough for my mom who's a neat freak. I would definitely book again and take advantage of the boat, kayak on the lake. Rob also had excellent communication.

diana2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

We just returned from our stay. This cottage is the perfect getaway. The cottage is very spacious and updated yet homey for any size group. I can't say enough about how wonderful the inside and outdoor areas are. You can tell they put alot of thought into all the furnishings. We enjoyed sitting in the screened porch, backyard and dock looking out on the water. Watching the birds up close at the feeders was great. The kids enjoyed the water floats provided and the canoe. The host is available by text and always responded. We all loved our stay and can't wait to return.

Heather2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Myself and my guests could not have been more satisfied with Rob's beautiful home. It was spacious, yet intimate, with both a beautiful interior and an an amazing backyard. Rob was great at communicating with us and left a very detailed manual on how to best take care and enjoy the place. We stayed here on a December weekend, so we can only imagine how much more fun this home is in the summer. I highly recommend staying in this home to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, no matter the season.

Andrew2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

The house had everything you would want in a lake house. Very cozy inside with plenty of amenities outside. (Fire pit, Grill, canoe, boat etc.) It was also centrally located on the lake for easy access to all points of interest. The downstairs had additional bedrooms and living room area which was nice for the kids to have their separate space when needed. It also looked like both bathrooms were recently updated. We plan on coming back again next summer!

John2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

Rob's place is set up perfectly for entertaining. Lots of seating options: Kitchen table, porch tables, large glass tables down on the patio with many chairs. This table is near an apple tree with several bird feeders. You can watch the birds and chipmunks gobble up the seed. We also liked all the whimsical touches found throughout the property: fishing Buddha, sleeping angel, dangling frog on a swing and the rainbow maker in the kitchen window. There is even a table on the dock itself with four seats. Although my family did not rent the pontoon boat nor the jet ski, they are available. Over all i would recommend this place.

It was a great stay at Laura's waterfront home. Travelling was bit difficult, but Uber helped us lot and was fine. Great place to stay and loved the surrounding.

Kannan2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

So happy that found this wonderful place! Very beautiful view of a lake and forest. Also the site is very quiet and private - we didn`t see any neighbors and were feeling like it`s only us there. House is very clean, warm and cozy, and there was everything we could even wish - fireplaces on each floor, outside barbecue, table tennis, hammock, games. The hosts are amazing couple, very friendly and nice! Definitely will come back and highly recommend to others!
